Did You Find Modern Family's "Little Bo Bleep" Controversial?

Oh you silly Lily!

Oh you silly Lily! Last night's episode of Modern Family had First Amendment advocates cheering, the No Cussing Club fuming, and parents everywhere nodding their heads through the shared experience as 2½-year-old Lily seemingly dropped the F-bomb throughout the episode (it was bleeped out and pixelated so viewers never heard or saw it).

Hearing a toddler say a cuss word isn't anything new for experienced parents (though this may be the first time it was done on TV), and I, for one, found dads Cam and Mitchell's reactions quite real — in our home, we often find ourselves hiding our laughter as we utter the necessary admonishments for bad behavior.

Take a look at the clip and tell me what you thought of the episode.

Kid Needs to Work on His Consonants

I wish I had this kid's excuse for my potty mouth.

I wish I had this kid's excuse for my potty mouth. Every time an expletive flew from my pie hole, I could just say, "I'm so sorry if I offended you. I am simply unable to pronounce words properly." (I'm sure that would work like a charm.)

Cityslicker Reporter Not a Fan of Country Living

While this dude is on location and reporting on a high school tragedy, the unthinkable happens.

While this dude is on location and reporting on a high school tragedy, the unthinkable happens. A germy insect. Flies. Into his mouth. Gasp! And when the bug flies in, all of the mounting irritations and annoyances of the day fly out. Someone's clearly not a happy country camper. (Warning: Foul language up ahead!)

Little Girl Questions the Fairytale Ending

Drop Dead Fred, a wickedly immature comedy about maintaining imaginary friends into adulthood and blaming "them" for one's obscene behavior, was one of my fave movies in the early '90s — naturally.

Drop Dead Fred, a wickedly immature comedy about maintaining imaginary friends into adulthood and blaming "them" for one's obscene behavior, was one of my fave movies in the early '90s — naturally. The irreverent tyke in the following scene portrays the protagonist as a young girl. Her response to her mother's lame-ass bedtime story is quite possibly the best advice any growing girl (or grown woman) could ever hear. Listen. Very. Carefully.

Why You Shouldn't Be a Telemarketer: Reason #439

I'm sure this British Telecom telemarketer was accustomed to getting hung up on or yelled at by irritated customers, but nothing could have prepared him for the ranting and cussing and sheer volume outta the next customer on his list of peeps to call.

I'm sure this British Telecom telemarketer was accustomed to getting hung up on or yelled at by irritated customers, but nothing could have prepared him for the ranting and cussing and sheer volume outta the next customer on his list of peeps to call. My unsolicited advice? This customer needs to calm the f*ck down, watch this simple instructional vid, and save himself a heart attack. And this telemarketer needs to not be a telemarketer. (Warning: Extremely NSFW language.)

Smartass Kitty Won't Get a Move On. . .

I think we just found the counterpart to this lazy bum.

I think we just found the counterpart to this lazy bum. A whole night of partying left both of them in a sluggish morning funk. But the cat below ain't gonna let a wake-up call get in the way of his hangover. No sirree, bird. And he has a few choice words for the dude who dared to wake him. . .
